Randall, about the only clemorrata left who has the courage Of his convictions, since Grovcr Cleve land swallowed that nartv. warned the democrats of the Ilonae that the boasted "sumlus" would disappear ere the present session ended and it appears that Samuel was a democratic prophet wise in his day. Mr. Harrison has delivered some eighty extempo addresses since receiyiug the republican nomination. Every one of them, to some extent, discussing the political questions involved in the present campaign and has proved himself an able, versatile, fearless statesman. Even the democratic partisian press has been un able to pick a flaw iu his many courage OU3 utterances. The aqueduct scandal in New York shows the democracy in its true light, and if anyone believes Governor Hill can be re-elected in that state in the face of that investigation they are mistaken, Ex-mayor Grace unfolds a true democrat ic state of affairs, which equals the "Widdy McGinnis Pig." Mr. Grace tes tifies that Governor Hill discounted bis own nrivtie notes for the amount of $30,000 for campaign purposes, and that these notes were howled about among the politicians of the state, Mr. Grace him self having been solicited to discount $5,000 or $10,000 worth of tbem, and that finally he was pressed to favor O'Brien and Clark, aqueduct contractors, in the letting of bids, although not the lowest bidders, in order that the Gover nor's notes might be taken care of. The aqueduct investigation is rich with just such democratic jobbery, and if the unit ed republicans of York state cannot re deem that state with the aid of such dis closures we shall miss our guess. Last evning's Journal contains an anonymous attack upon Hon. Allen Bee sen, whose character is worth more in this community than the entire Journal concern with its anonymous correspon dence thrown in. The annonymous at tack upon a man like Mr. Beeson made in a newspaper of the breed of the Journ al needs no refutation. The so acrimo nious appology for admitting such a com munication is even more cowardly and disgusting than the attack itself. As a lawyer, a public servant or a gentlemen, Mr. Beeson needs no defense against the mud battery of the man who talks about the seriousness of the offense "Malfeas ance in office. Opinions upon such a subject from such a source puts us in mind of the "Royce fund." This com munity may rest assured that the com munication in question emanates froiuja source which will be exposed in due time, and the animus as well as the char acter of its author will be shown up in all its interesting features. Important Ciillnrs. 'Oh- papa," she said, with-a blush, "young Mr. Chestnut, who owns so many coal mines in Pennsylvania, la coming again this even ing, and he says he wants to seo you on some important business.'' "All right, my dear," responded the old man, chucking her playfully under the chin. 'I guess I know what the young man wants." That evening Mr. Chestnut came to the point at once: "Mr. Hendricks," he said boldly, "I want to ask you if you have laid in your wiVr' Stock of coaL" Jew vorit Bun. V GAMBLERS TRICKS. METHODS BY WHICH THE Pro fessional REAPS 'A HARVEST. Card Marked So That the Hack Are a Significant m the Fronts Doable Faro Box, Reflectors and Hold Onto A Sore Winner. "Fair gambling f There is no such thing," remarked a commercial traveler, whose ter ritory lies in the west, but who makes fre quent trips home to Philadelphia to see his wife and little ones. "I never touch the cards any more," continued he, "but I used to be an inveterate gambler, and have lost many dollars at keno, faro, poker and other games. I played every kind of 'system,' thinking I would strike one that would in sure success. But I found that whila I some times won, more often I lost, and I began an investigation that ended in a decision that I would never gamble again, and I have kept my resolution so far. But did I never find an honest gambler f I cant say that I ever did; that is, a professional. Some of them are good hearted fellows, and are al ways ready to extend a helping hand and purse to the needy. But they get into a game they would cheat their own relatives, it has become so much of a second nature to them. Many of them look upon their gambling as a trade, and consider the cheating a necessary part of it. "But about my investigations into the gambler's tricks. Yes, 1 was coming to that; only give me time. I concluded that the only way was to get on the 'inside, as it were, and 1 began to cultivate the acquaint ance of a man who had run a game at one time, but was then taking a rest. He knew that 1 had gambled considerably, for I had lost many dollars at bis place, and when I in timated to him that I wanted to purchase an outfit and start a house on my own account, he said be was just the man to put me through in good shape. He said he was interested in a place where all kinds of gambling para phernalia, and especially those for 'sure things,' or trick games, were manufactured. I made an engagement with him and met him a week later. After cautioning mo to bo very careful, he took me to the top floor of a large building, where wo found an ex tensive manufacturing establishment, and introduced me to the man in charge. In this room were countless numbers of chips, cards, deal boxes, faro and roulette layouts, red and black, hazard, sweat, keno and all con ceivable kinds of gambling devices. Tho room was large, and everywhere the eye wandered it rested upon gambling imple ments of some kind. THK pQTJBLE DEAL BOX. "The man banded me a prico Jisfc of ar ticles and then showed me his trick faro deal boxes, made of German silver. He also showed me an article by which the cards were cut for the box, and then putting the cards in the box, showed me how, as the cards were cut a certain way, the dealer could always teU the next pard to the one on top. He then showed me what they call the doublo deal box that is, a box out of which two cards instead of one can be taken at once, and the players cannot discover the trick. These are what are called sanded cards, and ettofc together, requiring a certain amount of pressure to force tbem apart. He also showed me a circular containing a fac simile of the backs of eight different sets of marked cards, which he said were pew de signs. These were about No. 70 on the list, showing that they manufactured that num ber of differently marked packs of cards. For these new designs he asked $1.50 a pack. He then gave me an estimate of what a faro lay out would cost, and figured it up to about ninety-one dollars. "Tuiking in a general way, he said the business was worth $?,000 a year, as they dealt with parties all over the country and in Europe, but they did not want it known that they manufactured - implements for cheating or trick games. They did their business en tirely through the mail, and no one, as a rule, was permitted in the room. Jty friend, the ex-dealer, said that the proprietor traveled, selling the gambling devices in the west and southwest, and disposed of a great many. ''He then explained the trick cards to me and showed how a man could always win with them. In a game, when it was his 'deal or 'edge,' he could tell the next card that was going to be dealt, and could have thus virtu ally fcix cards to the other player's five. One of the packs, upon whleh he particularly prided himself as bc3ond detection, was a card marked with a very fine brush. I bought this in;ck and showed the cards to a number of jiersons, who declared the marks to be be yond detection by any one not acquainted with tliem. The ink used for marking was such that it could pot spoil the glaze on the cards, and tho marks consisted o a few more veins iu one leaf than in another, and in the bunch of leaves was a combination. Tho in itiated gambler could read this combination across a wide table and tell the cards his ad versary held in his hand. THE "COAT HOLD OCT." "The device which was next bhown me was declared to be the perfection and acne of all devicjs. He called it a 'coat hold out.' It is a contrivance by which, in a game of poker, from one to three cards can be held up the sleeve until they can be used to advantage. This clamp or spring in the sleeve is worked from the knees. While the knees are kept pressed together the cards are held, and when the knees aro separated the cards dpop down in the hand for use. To accomplish this trick without the possibility of detection it is well to wear large cuffs, that can be s'.id down partLiUy over the hand to cover the cards falling down from the sleeve. For this con trivance he wanted $150. He also informed me that he had a ring 'hold out' and a vest 'hold out,' but these I did not see. Then he showed me what be called reflectors, which consisted of mirrors set in silver dollars and fifty-cent pieces, and by a dexterous and proper use of them the skin gambler can tell tho cards held by the other players. For these he wanted $10 apiece. Many other de vices for the use of the skin gambler in swindling his victims were shown me, and I thought that it was little wonder that I had lost so much when I was one of these victims. "I promised to decide in a few days upon the articles I would purchase and left the place. It is unnecessary to state that I did not go back again. With the pointers I had gained it was comparatively easy for me to detect the use of the swindling devices in the many games I visited for some time after that. I found some of the tricks at every place, and was not long in coming to the con clusion that all gambling was more or less crooked and much of it more. I did not give up gambling for some time, however, for I wanted to be sure of it, and I associated with many professional card sharps when out on trips to observe their tricks. All appeared gentlemanly and obliging that is, those I I went with, but it seemed Impossible for them to help cheating when they had the cards in their hands. "Did I ever Me the marked cards used out side of regular gambling houses? I should aay I have. Many times in private parties have I seen an otherwise reputable man swindling bis friends with them. "Philadel phia Bulletin. ' REPUCLICAN PLATFORM. The republicans of tbe United States, assem bled by their delegates In national convention, Jiauee on tbe threshold of their proceedings to ionor tbe memory of their first great leader and Immortal champion of liberty and the rights of tbe people, Abraham Lincoln, and to cover also with wreaths of imperishable re membrance and gratitude the heroic names of our later leaders who nave been more recently culled away from ourcouiieile, tirant, Garfield, Arthur. Mtcan and conk line May their mem ories be faithfully cherished. We also recall with our greetings and prayer for his recovery the name of one of our living heroes whose memory will be treasured in tbe history both of republicans and of the republic. The name is that of the noble soldier und favorite child of victory. 1'hllln II. Sheridan. In the spirit of those great leaders and of our devotion to human liberty, and with that hos tility to ail forms of despotism at (I oppression which is the fundamental idea of the republi can party, we eeuu fraternal congratulations to our fellow Americans of lirazil upon their great act of emancipation which completed the abolition of slavery throuhout the two American continents. We earnestly hope we may coon congratulate our fellow citizens of Irleli birth upon the peaceful recovery of home ruie xor neiauu. WK AFFIRM OCTK UK8WKBVIKO OKVOTION to the national constitution and to the hulls soluble union of states to the autooumy re served to the states under the constitution, to the personal rights and liberties of citizens in all states and territories in the union and es pecially to the supreme and sovereign right of every citizen, rich or poor, native or foreign born, white or black, to caet one free ballot in the public elections and to have that ballot duly counted. We hold a free and honest pop ular ballot and lunt and equal representation of all people te be the foundation of our re publican government and demand effective legislation to pecuie the integrity and purity of elections which are the fouutaius of all pub lic authority, we charue that tue present ad ministration and the democratic majority in congress owe their existence to the suunrefsion of the ballot by the criminal nulliileation of the constitution and laws oi the united Mates, We are uncroiiiproinisingly In favor of the American system of protection. We protest against me tiesiruction proposed ny me pren dent and his party. They serve the interests of hurope WK WILL SUPPORT INTEltFKTS Or AMKRICA We accent the issue, and cuuudeutly appeal to the people for their judgment. The piotective system must be maintained. Its abandonment has always been followed by general dis;.fter to all interests except those of the uiuurer and sheriff. We denounce the Mills' bill as destructive to general business, labor, and the lai niing inter ests of the country, and we heartily endorse the consistent anil patriotic action of the re publican representatives iu congress in oppos ing its passage. We condemn tne proposition of the democratic party to place w ool on the free list and insist, that the duties thereon shail be adjusted and maintained so as to fur nish full and adequate protection to that in dustry. The republican parte would effect all needed reduction cf the national revenue by repealing the taxes on tobacco, which are an arrogance and burden to agriculture, and the tax upon spirits used in the arts and for mechanical pur poses, and by such revision of the tariff laws as will tend to cjie;ik imports ot such articles as aie produced by our peoj'le, the production of which gives employment to our labor, and re lease Iroin import duties these articles of for eign production, except luxuries, the like of which cannot be produced at home, there t hall still remain a larger revenue than is n-quii-itt for the wants of government, of internal taxes rather than surrender any part of our irotec tive system at the Joint belitst of the whisky ring and agepi3 of foriu ftianuf acureis. AGAINST PAVI'FJt AKf JAl:01i TBI'S! S. We declare hostility to the introduction into this country of foreign contract labor and of Chinese labor alien to our civilization and our constitution, and we demand the ngi l enforce ment of existing laws against it and favor such immediate legislation as will exclude such la bor from our shores. We Uepjare opr opposition to all combina tions of capital oVfi-iiliLed i(i tresis or other wise to control arbitrarily the tsoudition of trade among our citueus and we recommend o congress and the state legislatures in their respective jurisdictions such legislation as will prevent the execution of all schemes to oppress the per pie by undue charges on their supplies orbyunjU(t rates for the transportation of their pi odqpts to market, we a prb've legislation by congress to pre vent alike unjust burdens anil unfair hecii in itiation between dates. rCuLie I.AKD fcEOISUtTlOX. We reaffirm the policy or appropriating the public lands of the Ubited States to be home steads for American citizens and settlers not alienn, which the republican party established in l!H9. aea'.nft the persiste.it opposition of the democrats n ppngrcss, vhif!) has brought our great western domain into hiagiWiicent de velopment. The restoration of unearned land grants to (be public domain for the use of ac tual settlers, which was begun tinder the ad ministration of President Arthur should be continued. vi deny liikt tne dpitioerati.; party lias ever restored one acre to the people, but declare that by the joint action of republicans and democrats about fifty million acres of un earned lands, originally granted for the con struction of railroads, have been restored to the public domain in pursuance of conditions inserted by the ieiaulicai party in the niiein al grants. We charge t'-e democratic adniiiiis traiiou with lailure to execute laws securing to settlers title to tlieii homesteads and with us ing appropriafions made for that purpose to harrass innocent settler's witupie'rtUil prose cutions under the falee pretense of exposing frauds and vindicating the law. ADMISSION OF TERRITORIES, The government by congrecs of the territor ies Is based upon necessity only to the end that they may become states In the union t there fore, whenever the cohditioiis of population, material resources, pnblic intelligence and morality are such its to insure stable local gov ernment therein the people of guch territories should be permitted, a right inherent in them, to form for themselves constitutions and state governments and be admitted into the union. 1 Pending pre para ti..-u for statehood all officers thereof should be selected trom bona fide residents nd citizens pf the territory wherein they are to serve. Soutu" DaxoYa elua.Ul f right he immediately admitted as a state hi the union under the constitution framed aud adopted by her people, and we heartilv en dorse the action of the republican senate in twice passing bills for her admission. The re fusal of the democratic house of representa tives, ior partisan purteses. to favorably con sider these bills is a w illful violation of the sa red American principle of local gelf-govern-meut, and nicrit tle condemnation Of all just 'I 1. .. ...... ,1 ; .

Idaho and Arizona to the enjoyment of self-government as states. Sup h of them as are iio-.y qualified as soon as possible. ;:nd others as soon as they may become so. THE MOKMOA QUESTION. The political power of the Mormon church in the territories ns exercised in., the past I a menance to.free institutions too dangerous to be Ions suffered. Therefore we p edge the re publican party to appropriate legislation, assert ii'ir the sovereignty of the nation in all the territories where the ssme is nuei-tioned. and !u furtherance of that end to place upon the Statute book legislation strimrent enough to divorce political from ecclesiastical power, and thus stamo out the a.tteuri.ant wickedness of polygamy. 1 he republican "party is iu favor of tbe use of both gold and silver as inonev. and con demns the policy of the democratic adminis tration in its efforts to demonetize silver. ve nemand the reduction of letter nostatre to 1 c-ni per ounce. In a republic like ours, where tli eiti7nnal the sovereign and the oiiicial the servant, where no power is exercised excent hv th whl of the people, it is important that the sover eign reople should possess intelligence. The free j-chool is Ihe promoter of that intelligence which i to preserve us a free nation. '1 here. lore, the state or nation, or both conbined. should support free institutions of loamim? sufficient to afford to every child growing up in the. land the opportunity of a good common school education. OUR MERCHANT MARINE, We earnestly recommend that nromnt nntinn be taken hi c.rpiess in theei act mint of such legislation as will best secure the rehabilita tion of our An-eric--ii merchant marine, and we protest against Ihe passage by congress of a tree ship bill as calculated to work injustice to labor by lesser itig the waget of those en- aged iu preparing materials as well as those directly employed in our shipyards. ve de mand appropriation for ihe R4rly rebuilding of our navy, for the construction of coast fortifications and modern ordinance snd other approved modem means of defense for the protection of our defmseless harbors and ' cities, for the payment of jut pensions to; our soldiers, for necessary works of national im portance in the improvement of the harbors and channels of Internal, coastwiser -ana foreign commerce, for the encouragement of of the Atlantic. Golf and Pacific states as well a for the payment of the maturing public debt. This policy will employment to our labor, activity to our various Industries, Increased security to our country, promote trade, open new and direct markets for our urodticts and cheapen the cost of transportation. We affirm this to be far better for our country than toe democratic policy of loaning the government's money without interest to "pet banks." FOREIGN RELATIONS. The conduct of foreign affairs by the present au ministration uas oeen uirtiuguisneu oy met licleiicy and cowardice. Iluvinq: withdrawn from the senate all pending tieaties effected by republican admlnistratiors for the removal of foreign burdens and restrictions upon our coinmeice and for Its extension into a better market, it has neither affected nor proposed any others in their stead. Professing adher ence to the Monroe doctrine, it has seen with idle complacency the extension of foreign in fluence iu Central America and of foreign trade everywhere among our neighbors. It has re fused to charter, sanction or encourage any American oruanizytion lor constructing tne Nicaragua canal, a work of vtal importance to the maintenance oi the Monroe doctrlue and of our national influence in Central and South America, and necessary for the development oi trade with our facluc territory, with South America, and with the further coasts of the Pacific Ocean. FISHERIES QUESTION. We arraign the present demoi-ratic adiniuis t rat ion for its weak and unpatriotic treatment of the fisheries question, and its pusillanimous surrender of all privileges to which our fishery vessels are en til led in Canadian ports under the treaty of 1818, the reciprocate rnariii tine legislation of l&M) and comity of nations. aud which Canadian nsbing vessels receive in the ports of the United States. We con Jemu the i ollcy of the present administration and the democratic majority iu congress towards our fisheries as unfriendly and couspiciout-ly un pat riot ic and as tending to destroy a valuable national iuuiinii y ami an inuispensioie resource of defense against ft reign enemy. The name of American applies alike to all cilizens of the rep.iblt, aud imposes upon men alike the same oi-ligatioa of obedience to the awn. At llie same time ci'i.enship is and must be the panoply and safeguard of him w ho weais it, should shield and protect him whether high tr low, rich or poor, in all his civil rights. It should and must afford him protection at home and follow and protect him abroad in whatever land he may be on a lawful errand. CIVIL SERVICE REFORM. The men who abandoned the republican par ty in 1SS4 and continue to adhere to the demo cratic party have deserted not only the cause of hoi. en government, but of sound finance, of freedom .and purity of the ballot, but espec ially have deserted the cause of reform in the civil service. We will not fall to keep our pledges because they have broken theirs, or because their candidate has broken his. We t hercfore repeat our declaiation of 1884, towit : The reform of civil service auspiciously begun under republican administration should be completed by afurther extension of th" reform system already established by law to all grades of the service to which it s applied. Tliespir it and purpose of reform should be observed in ail executive appointments, and all laws at variencewith the object of existing reform leg islation should be repealed, and that the dan gers to free institutions which lurk in the pow er ofott cial patronage nii.y be wisely and ef fectively avoided. The gratitude of the nation to the defenders of the union cannot be assured except by laws. The legislal ion of congress should conform to the pledges made by a loyal people, and be so enlarged and extended as to prov'do against the possibility that any man who honorably wore the federal uniform shall become au lu mate of an almshouse or dependent ou private charity, lit presence of an overflowing treasury it would b a public scandal to do less for those whose valorous service preserved the government. We denounce the hostile 6pirit shown by President Cleveland in his numerous vetoes or measures for-pension relief. and the action of the democratic house of representa tives iu refusing even consideration of general pension legislation. in support oi the principles herewith enun ciated we invite the co-operation of patriotic men ail paiucj, especially ot all working meu whose prosperity t seriously threatened by the free trade policy of the present admin istration.
